Using high magnetic flux from a 60 Hz high-current cable, a 2 W wireless-powered energy harvesting receiver for sensor operation, internet of things (IoT) devices, and LED lights inside electrical cable tunnels is proposed. The proposed receiver comprises a copper coil with a high number of turns, a ring-shaped ferromagnetic core, a capacitor for compensating for the impedance of the coil in series, and a rectifier with various types of loads, such as sensors, IoT devices, and LEDs. To achieve safe and easy installation around the power cable, the proposed ring-shaped receiver is designed to easily open or close using a clothespin-shaped handle, which is made of highly-insulated plastic. Laminated silicon steel plates are assembled and used as the core because of their mechanical robustness and high saturation flux density characteristic, in which the thickness of each isolated plate is 0.3 mm. The series-connected resonant capacitor, which is appropriate for low-voltage applications, is used together with the proposed receiver coil. The concept of the figure of merit, which is the product weight and cost of both the silicon steel plate and the copper wire, is used for an optimized design; therefore, the weight of the fabricated receiver and the price of raw material is 750 gf and USD $2 each, respectively. The 2.2 W powering capability of the fabricated receiver was experimentally verified with a power cable current of $100A_{rms}$ at 60Hz.

산업적으로 얇은 사각유로에서의 임계열유속을 포함한 열수력 현상을 이해하고 이를 시스템 설계에 반영해야 될 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 포화비등조건에서 임계열유속이 발생하는 주요기구는 일반적으로 환상유동 영역에서 액막이 건조되는 것이다. 이러한 임계열유속을 예측하기 위하여 원형관에 대한 대표적인 액막건조모델을 고찰하고 환상유동 시작 경계조건을 상수로 가정하는 기존 모델의 한계를 살펴보았다. 균일한 열유속으로 가열되는 얇은 수직사각유로 상향유동에서의 임계열유속을 예측하기 위하여 환상유동을 단순 모델링하고, 새로운 액막건조모델을 적용하였다. 284 개 실험데이타에 대한 예측성능을 확인한 결과 MAE 18.1%, RMSE 22.9% 예측오차로 실험데이타를 잘 예측할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

This paper presents a new and efficient scheme to determine the optimal neutron source position in a model near-equilibrium pressurized water reactor, which is based on the OPR1000 Hanul Unit 3 Cycle 7 configuration. The proposed scheme particularly assigns importance of source positions according to the local adjoint flux distribution. In this research, detailed pin-by-pin reactor adjoint fluxes are determined by using the Monte Carlo KENO-VI code from solutions of the reactor homogeneous critical adjoint transport equations. The adjoint fluxes at each allowable source position are subsequently ranked to yield four candidate positions with the four highest adjoint fluxes. The study next simulates ex-core detector responses using the Monte Carlo MAVRIC code by assuming a neutron source is installed in one of the four candidate positions. The calculation is repeated for all positions. These detector responses are later converted into an inverse count rate ratio curve for each candidate source position. The study confirms that the optimal source position is the one with very high adjoint fluxes and detector responses, which is interestingly the original source position in the OPR1000 core, as it yields an inverse count rate ratio curve closest to the traditional 1/M line. The current work also clearly demonstrates that the proposed adjoint flux-based approach can be used to efficiently determine the optimal geometry for a neutron source and a detector in a modern pressurized water reactor core.

물 부족을 포함한 기후 변화의 해로운 결과는 효과적인 정수에 대한 관심을 가져왔다. 또한, 수질 오염 수준이 높아지고 환경 파괴 수준이 심해지면서 오염 물질을 제거하려는 방안들이 요구되고 있다. 물을 정화하기 위해 반투막을 통한 삼투압 절차들을 사용할 수 있으며, 최근 연구에 따르면 탄소 양자점(CQD), 그래핀 양자점(GQD) 및 산화 그래핀 양자점(GOQD)을 포함한 나노입자를 복합 박막(TFC)에 합체하면 유사한 수준의 염 거부율을 유지하면서 물흐름을 증가시킬 수 있다. 이러한 효과 외의 여러 가지 효과가 있지만 그 중에서도 친수성을 높이고, 살균 성질을 보이고, 방오 특성으로 인해 박테리아 및 기타 미생물의 축적을 방지하면서 막의 효과가 감소하는 것을 막는 것을 보여준다. 이 보고서는 양자점이 합체된 정수용 복합 막에서 양자점의 제조 과정, 응용, 기능성, 성질 및 역할을 논의한다.

In this study, we synthesized two $Y_3Al_5O_{12}:Ce^{3+}$ phosphors ($7{\mu}m$-sized and $2{\mu}m$-sized YAG) with different sizes by controlling particles sizes of starting materials of the phosphors for white LED. In the smaller one ($2{\mu}m$-sized YAG), its photoluminescence intensity in the reflective mode was 63 % that of the bigger one ($7{\mu}m$-sized YAG); the quantum efficiencies were 93 % and 70 % for the smaller and the bigger ones. Two kinds of white LED packages with the same color coordinates were fabricated with a blue package (chip size $53{\times}30$) and two phosphors. The luminous flux of the white LED package with the smaller YAG phosphor was 92 % of that with the bigger one, indicating that the quantum efficiency of phosphor dispersed inside LED package was higher than that of the pure powder. It was consistently confirmed by the optical simulation (LightTools 6.3). It is notable according to the optical simulation that the white LED with the smaller phosphor showed 24 % higher luminous efficiency. If the smaller one had the same quantum efficiency as the bigger one (~93 %). Therefore, it can be suggested that the higher luminous efficiency of white LED can be possible by reducing the particle size of the phosphor along with maintaining its similar quantum efficiency.

We have reported structural and optical properties of self-assembled InAs/GaAs quantum dot (QD) grown by molecular beam epitaxy with different arsenic to indium flux ratios (V/III ratios). By increasing the V/III ratio from 9 to 160, average diameter and height of the InAs QDs decreased, but areal density of them increased. The InAs QDs grown under V/III ratio of 30 had a highest-aspect-ratio of 0.134 among them grown with other conditions. Optical property of the InAs QD was investigated by the temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) and integrated PL. From the temperature dependence PL measurements of InAs QDs, the activation energies of $E_{a1}$ and $E_{a2}$ for the InAs QDs were obtained $48{\pm}3meV$ and $229{\pm}23meV$, respectively. It was considered that the values of $E_{a1}$ and $E_{a2}$ are corresponded to the energy difference between ground-state and first excited state, and the energy difference between ground-state and wetting layer, respectively.

Magnetic cables that can deliver high frequency AC electric power safely for flammable or sensitive workplaces preventing from arcs and electric shocks are firstly proposed in this paper. To deliver the power for a long distance, several new magnetic cable structures which drastically reduce the parallel leakage flux by appropriate magnetic shield between the magnetic cables are suggested; hence, the output power can be improved more than ten times. The proposed magnetic cables are fully analyzed and verified by simulations and experiments with good agreement. The output power and efficiency for a prototype magnetic cable of 1.5m long and 1 cm gap between parallel cores were measured as 154W and 67 %, where the source current and frequency were 10 A and 20 kHz, respectively.

ZnO has received considerable attention due to its potential applicability to optoelectronic devices such as ultraviolet-light emitting diodes (UVLEDs) and laser diodes (LDs). As well known, however, polar ZnO with the growth direction along the c-axis has spontaneous and piezoelectric polarizations that will result in decreased quantum efficiency. Recently, nonpolar ZnO has been studied to avoid such a polarization effect. In order to realize applications of nonpoar ZnO-based films to LEDs, growth of high quality alloys for quantum well structures is one of the important tasks that should be solved. $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ and $Cd_xZn_{1-x}O$ is ones of most promising alloys for this application because the alloys of ZnO with MgO and CdO provide a wide range of band-gap engineering spanning from 2.4 to 7.8 eV. In this study, we investigated on $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ films grown with various Mg/Zn flux ratios The films were grown on R-plane sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). we investigated on $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ films grown with various Mg/Zn flux ratios. The films were grown on R-plane sapphire substrates by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (PAMBE). With the relatively low Mg/Zn flux ratios, a typical striated anisotropic surface morphology which was generally observed from the nonpolar (11-20) ZnO film on r-plane sapphire substrates. By increasing the Mg/Zn flux ratio, however, additional islands were appeared on the surface and finally the surface morphology was entirely changed, which was generally observed for the (0001) polar ZnO films by losing the striated morphology. Investigations by X-ray $\Theta-2{\Theta}$ diffraction revealed that (0002) and (10-11) ZnO planes are appeared in $Mg_xZn_{1-x}O$ films by increasing the Mg/Zn flux ratio. Further detailed investigation by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) will be discussed.

The alternating current (AC) conductivity in semiconductor crystals with an open-core screw dislocation is studied in the current work. The screw dislocation in crystalline media results in an effective potential field which affects the electronic transport properties of the system. Therefore, from a technological view point, it is interesting to investigate properties of AC conductivity at frequencies of a few terahertz. To quantify the screw-induced potential effect, we calculated the AC conductivity of dislocated crystals using the Kubo formula. The conductivity showed peaks within the terahertz frequency region, where the amplitude of the AC conductivity was large enough to be measured in experiments. The measurable conductivity peaks did not arise in dislocation-free crystals threaded by a magnetic flux tube. These results imply different conductivity mechanisms in crystals with a screw dislocation than those threaded by a magnetic flux tube, despite the apparent similarity in their electronic eigenstates.

A Josephson sampler circuit using high-Tc superconductor (HTS) ramp-edge junctions has been designed, fabricated, and experimentally tested. It consists of five ramp-edge junctions with a stacked groundplane and is based on single-flux-quantum (SFQ) operations. The sampler was used to measure current waveforms at picosecond and microampere resolutions. We are developing a system based on the sampler for measuring the current waveform in a room-temperature sample. And measuring current flowing through wiring in a semiconductor large-scale integrated circuit is a promising application for the HTS sampler system.
